The Terps led by as many as 16 points in the first half Sunday night but fell flat late as Penn State ended the game on a 15-6 run in a 66-61 loss at Xfinity Center.
Maryland (15-12, 9-11 Big Ten Conference) missed five of its final six shot attempts after missing its final seven in a late-game collapse to Northwestern last Wednesday night.
The Terps, who could’ve finished seventh in the Big Ten standings with a victory, end the regular season on a two-game losing streak and will now play ninth-seeded Michigan State as the eighth seed in the Big Ten tournament.
